I think I can just buy Vicks VapoRub for that. Didn't use a long time.

Been coughing since aug last year. Todei i go check, twice ambik darah, need to send sample kahak for 3 days, xray, dokter say got something on left lung. Come again after all blood test comes out

TB is completely dry. Got it many years back.

Government Clinic and Hospital?

yes

Ooh i got kena like this last year after raya. 5 months cough with phlegm and bloodand no exact known cause. Suspected tb but all possible tests came out negative. Dr even suspect I have hiv which also negative.
But it boils down to lung infection which were solved with two round of antibiotics; although there were more complications discovered following up that were not really solved until now.

go meet ENT doktor

ENT? Why?

cough medicine, betadine gargle, nasal spray to clear mucus.

vitamin C buy the smallest mg dosage 100mg or 250mg, eat it spread out in the day to make 1000mg a day or if you use those 1000mg tablet like redoxin, break into 4 quarters and drink them morning, noon, evening and night.

try eating steamed orange with salt or boil those pear drinks.

ear nose and throat la

Earlier I mentioned here I did have cough for 3 - 4 months..

I tried drinking kombucha, honey lemon, etc.... they helped a little.... but phlegm returned after 2 days or so...

A friend suggested me to drink coconut oil. I think it helped.... maybe those of you finding your cough so hard to cure.... can try....I bought it from BMS Organics.

I no more coughing now but will add coconut oil in my coffee occasionally..

Hi, I just had similar case. I had been coughing every evening, like choking on my own saliva since June. Then every month I will have sorethroat, mild fever. Completed antibiotics, doesn't help much. This goes on until October when the cough got significantly worse. Went to my GP friend, did Influenza test, and then I found out I'm influenza A positive.

After that influenza, the phlegm become worsen, annoying, lasting for one more month. And then by December... it suddenly gone. I'm back to healthy, no more evening cough.

So in total, it took me 6 months for the condition to resolve by itself, which I think, is not something I would recommend anyone. So maybe try find a respiratory specialist because it is a very annoying 6 months of coughing. GP can't help with this condition.

ask doctor if it could be GERD or not

antibiotic resistance already. need to change antibiotic

this to soothe the throat ?

during 2022 after my covid on august, i have been throat infection, cough, phlegm, fever, headache on and off... been taking various med here and there... december i went and see TCM, take about 1 and 1/2 months of chinese med and recovered.

think you can consider to visit TCM if western med isn't working very well. one i can recommend in kepong Taipei TCM, you can visit Dr. Chu Yun Sang, retired Dr but he still take patient on Thursday and Saturday. So make your appointment. Or you can visit any TCM near your area

I used to have health problems, and I enjoy drinking cold water for any kind of beverage.

But for 5 years, I have been enjoying hot tea almost every tea time and stop drinking any other sweet beverage. It seems to be a good health approach to emulate old wisdom.

So until today, I still enjoy drinking plain cold water every single day, but minus the flu & phlegm.

But cutting fast food & street food also helps a lot.

Street food has been using cheap substitute ingredients from China lately, which is something questionable.

Is it confirmed to be viral, not bacterial since no antibiotic prescribed?

The 100-day cough thingy is bad. Son got it end-Nov. See GP give cheap antibiotics no help, have to go to pedriatric specialist - give better antibiotics and then need follow up two more times - total like almost 8 weeks. Good thing we went to see specialist, as his lungs were already pre-pnuemonia (if I remember the term).

Over CNY, uncle's family a few members also not well - later heard whole family kena, yesterday heard one of his daughters (adult 30+yrs old) admitted to hospital for pneumonia.

Conclusion - some strains of this season's flu stronk.

Edit : was afraid TB (but thankfully it was not and since the better antibiotics and some other medications helped) and also that it will spread to others in the house but it's been more than 3 months, only son kena - dunno why.

coughing sometimes it is not the throat nor the lung, but the stomach gas.

To reduce phlegm.
